Napoli boss Benitez vents his frustration at Champions League exit

Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez vents his frustration in his latest column in the Independent after his Napoli side are knocked out of the Champions League despite finishing the group stage with 12 points. "Mathematics in the Champions League? Tell me about it! Our Napoli team accumulated 12 points in our group by beating Arsenal at Stadio San Paolo on Wednesday and still did not qualify.

"The last team to score that many points and not go to the knockout stages was PSG in 1997. What can you do? We look at Zenit St Petersburg who are through from their group with only six points. Repeat: What can you do?"
